Stockholm, 14 November 2024 – On 16 September 2024, the Board of Directors of the mining company Eurobattery Minerals AB (Nordic Growth Market: BAT and Börse Stuttgart: EBM; in short: “Eurobattery Minerals” or the “Company”) resolved on a rights issue of units of approximately SEK 35.5 million (the “Rights issue”), that was approved by the Extraordinary General Meeting on 16 October 2024. The preliminary outcome indicates that the Rights issue is subscribed to approximately 41.7 per cent with and without unit rights. The outcome implies that underwriting commitments of indicatively approximately 18.3 per cent of the Rights issue are expected to be claimed, after which the Rights issue is subscribed to approximately 60.0 per cent. Eurobattery Minerals will thereby receive total issue proceeds of approximately SEK 21.3 million before issue costs.

Preliminary outcome
The preliminary compilation of subscriptions shows that 20,555,937 units, corresponding to approximately 40.5 per cent of the Rights issue, were subscribed for with unit rights. 614,461 units, corresponding to approximately 1.2 per cent of the Rights issue, were subscribed for without unit rights. Furthermore, 9,276,013 units, corresponding to approximately 18.3 per cent of the Rights issue, will be subscribed for by underwriters who have entered into underwriting commitments. The preliminary outcome thereby indicates that the Rights issue is subscribed to approximately 60.0 per cent. The Company will, due to the above, receive total issue proceeds of approximately SEK 21.3 million before issue costs.

The Rights issue in brief
Those who were registered as shareholders on the record date, 28 October 2024, received one (1) unit right for each existing share held in the Company. Three (3) unit rights entitled to subscription for one (1) unit. In addition, investors had the option to register for subscription of units without unit rights. One (1) unit consisted of seven (7) new shares and four (4) warrants of series TO6. The subscription period for the Rights issue commenced on 30 October and ended on 13 November 2024, and the subscription price in the Rights issue was SEK 0.70 per unit, corresponding to SEK 0.10 per share (the warrants of series TO6 are issued free of charge).

Final outcome and notice of allocation
Notice of allocation to investors who have subscribed for units without unit rights will be sent in connection with the publication of the final outcome, indicatively on 15 November 2024. All those who have subscribed are, based on the preliminary outcome, expected to be allotted. Subscribed and allotted units should be paid on the settlement day, at the latest three days after the settlement note is sent out, in accordance with the instructions on the settlement note.

Stockholm 12 November 2024 – The mining company Eurobattery Minerals AB (Nordic Growth Market: “BAT” and Börse Stuttgart: “EBM”; in short: “Eurobattery Minerals” or the “Company”) announces that it will continue to participate in the BAT Circle Project via its wholly owned subsidiary FinnCobalt Oy (“FinnCobalt”). Led by Aalto University, BATCircle is a circular ecosystem for battery metals based in Finland which focuses on enhancing the whole battery value chain. The initiative also seeks to foster stronger collaboration between Finnish companies and research institutions.

FinnCobalt, owned to 100% by Eurobattery Minerals AB, is actively participating in the BATCircle Project. This is a Finnish initiative which focuses on improving the competitiveness and sustainability of the country´s battery value chain, adding value to Finnish battery materials and also the refining and recycling sectors.

“Our participation in the BATCircle projects reflects Eurobattery Minerals’ dedication to advancing sustainable, circular solutions for the battery industry. This collaboration has not only strengthened Finland’s role as a leader in the battery value chain but also aligns perfectly with our mission to drive responsible mineral production in Europe. By working alongside industry and academic leaders, we are contributing to vital innovations in recycling, refining, and environmentally conscious practices that will support Europe’s transition to a sustainable and self-sufficient battery ecosystem,” says Roberto García Martínez, CEO of Eurobattery Minerals.

The first phase of BATCircle (2019-2021) was followed by BATCircle2.0 (2021-2024), and this is when FinnCobalt entered the project. The second phase broadened its focus to cover the entire chain – from resource exploration and mining to refining, processing, and recycling of battery components. This project united Finnish businesses and research institutions, with additional guidance from an international advisory board to strengthen its influence across Europe and globally.

The third phase of the project has just been announced and it comes at a time when Europe is adapting to the CRMA and battery demand is growing exponentially. Business Finland has granted the BATCircle Consortium with 13.4 million euros for the next three years. BATCircle3.0 represents one of the most relevant and timely research areas as it targets the material transition in energy storage and is especially focused on battery materials refining and battery recycling. FinnCobalt is a full member of the BATCircle Consortium.

After six years of collaboration and research, the BATCircle Project has positioned Finland as a global leader in the lithium-ion battery supply chain and strengthened the cooperation between companies and research organizations in Finland.

Some highlights of the BatCircle Project, 2019-2024:

The involvement of FinnCobalt strengthens Eurobattery Minerals’ commitment to sustainable battery mineral production and collaboration across industry and academia. The project operates under Business Finland’s “Batteries from Finland” programme and aligns with EU goals for responsible and circular battery materials production, positioning FinnCobalt and Eurobattery Minerals at the forefront of sustainable mineral development in Europe.

Video: Market update – October 2024
The CEO of Eurobattery Minerals, Roberto García Martínez, was interviewed and presented a market update in a video published on 30 October 2024. In the video, which is directed to shareholders, potential investors and other stakeholders, a summary was presented regarding the work carried out in the Finnish battery mineral project Hautalampi during 2024, the Spanish Castriz project in Corcel and the planned development for the near future. The video is available on Eurobattery Minerals´ YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-PVL8VBjyI, and issue website, https://investors.eurobatteryminerals.com/en/rights-issue-2024-2/.

“We have been very active since 2020, when we acquired the Hautalampi battery mineral project, and we just finalised the full acquisition a couple of months ago. We have achieved many milestones over the last years, including applying for the environmental permit which we submitted to the authorities a couple of months ago. Additionally, we have been working closely with the Finnish authorities to monitor our environmental processes. In August, we applied to categorise the project as a European Strategic Project under the new Critical Raw Materials Act. And just a few weeks ago, we closed on a non-binding agreement with Boliden, a large mining group, which poised to buy the entire copper concentrate production from Hautalampi. All these achievements probably make this project one of the most important projects in the Scandinavian countries in decades,” commented the CEO about the Hautalampi project.

The warrants of series TO6 are issued free of charge. Each unit consists of seven (7) shares and four (4) warrants of series TO6. The record date for participation in the Rights Issue is set for 28 October 2024. Through the Rights Issue, the Company’s share capital can increase by a maximum of SEK 27,909,209.35 provided that the Rights Issue is fully subscribed and all warrants of series TO6 issued in the Rights Issue are exercised to subscribe for new shares.

The Extraordinary General Meeting further resolved, in accordance with the Board of Directors’ proposals:

Over-allotment issue

The Extraordinary General Meeting resolved, in accordance with the Board of Directors’ proposal, to carry out a directed issue of an additional maximum of 14,285,714 units consisting of shares and warrants of series TO6 with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, in the event of oversubscription in the Rights Issue and to have the opportunity to broaden the shareholder base with strategic investors (the "Over-allotment Issue"). Each unit consists of seven (7) shares and four (4) warrants of series TO6. The subscription price for each new share in the Over-allotment Issue shall correspond to the subscription price in the Rights Issue, meaning that the subscription price per share is SEK 0.10. The subscription price per unit thus amounts to SEK 0.70. Subscription of units in the Over-allotment Issue shall be made on a separate subscription list no later than on 19 November 2024. Through the Over-allotment Issue the Company’s share capital can increase by a maximum of SEK 7,857,142.70 provided that the Over-allotment Issue is fully subscribed and all warrants of series TO6 issued in the Over-allotment Issue are exercised to subscribe for new shares.

Authorisation for the board of directors to resolve on new issuances

The Extraordinary General Meeting resolved – in accordance with the Board of Directors’ proposal – to authorise the Board of Directors to, on one or several occasions and until the next Annual General Meeting, with or without deviation from the shareholders' pre-emptive rights, against payment in cash, non-cash consideration or through set-off, resolve on new issues of shares, convertibles and/or warrants in the Company.

Resolution to reduce the share capital without cancellation of shares and amendment of the articles of association

The Extraordinary General Meeting resolved, in accordance with the Board of Directors' proposal, to reduce the Company's share capital by a maximum of SEK 76,378,353.30 so that the Company's share capital after the reduction amounts to SEK 500,000. The reduction shall be carried out without the cancellation of shares and shall be used for allocation to unrestricted equity. The reduction is carried out to adjust the quota value for the Company's share. The reduction of the share capital requires permission from the Swedish Companies Registration Office or a general court. Provided that the necessary permit is obtained, the reduction decision is expected to be executed in January or February 2025.

The new limits for the share capital and the number of shares in the articles of association

In accordance with resolutions passed at the Extraordinary General Meeting, the Company's share capital shall be not less than SEK 60,880,000 and not more than SEK 243,520,000 (prior to the resolution to reduce the share capital that requires permission from the Swedish Companies Registration Office or a general court) and the number of shares in the Company shall be not less than 365,300,000 and not more than 1,461,200,000.
